Of All The World's Magical Things
an irreverent poem
From beyond the hedges
Come many magic personages
Some fantastic
Some mundane
All unique
In their own veins
Cyclops and centaurs
Ghosts and ghouls
For all these creatures' presence
I’d argue for their eminence
Powerful incarnations
Forming our dispositions
Like a character in a book
Manifesting in a mental brook
Exiting with temporality
Doesn’t diminish their reality
But of all the magic personages
Hidden beyond the hedges
The ones I disbelieve in the most
Are creators using Vocal’s Pledges

I've been known for a streak of irreverence, but despite all that, I believe in embodying the change you wish to see in the world. With that, I am pledging my monthly financial support to a creator I have the utmost respect for. Lamar, you have my sword. Check out his profile below:

Throne of the Beast
“Lock and load.” Knight One’s command echoed through his helmet, drowning out the helo’s thumping engines. Knight Two sat across from him, his mechanical gloves thumbing the safety on his oversized auto shotgun clad in etched black metal. Knight Four scoffed silently, his face obscured by the jet-black helmet. An uncivilized weapon for an uncivilized man. There are already enough of those in this godless world. Two always seemed unsettling, like a big frothing dog in a constant internal struggle of, “Should I bite or hump my master?” It was no wonder Callsign General loved Two, even if Callsign Archbishop barely tolerated him. One was the Archbishop's girl.

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Loved your poem, and I love Lamar's works, too! So, this is a win-win for me :)
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮🤩🤩🤩🤩🤯🤯🤯😮😮😮😳🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🤯🤯🤯😭😭😭🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼😀🍻🍻🍻 As you can see, finding the right words to thank YOU, a fellow creator who has shown such generosity is failing me at the moment. The respect is definitely mutual, my friend! And thank you again. You are a trendsetter and have proven it when you created your magical library. Hopefully this will go the way of it.
This is great! I agree, Lamar is top drawer! 😁
Lamar really does write up a lot of gems. If a story were a piece of jewelry his portfolio would be a jewelry store. I like how Your poem suggests that the creatures that we make are some version of ourselves or parts of our mind that we try to express in some form.
This is wonderful. Lamar is a great writer. Definitely deserving. 👏
Sweet! 😊👍
Cool poem! Even cooler plege intention. Keep writing from your authentic self!
Enjoyed the poem. I have no pledges so I cannot relate to the last line, but I can see how any promise broken is a deceit, and unacceptable if not righted. Very cool of you to support Lamar! I'll take your lead and check out his work.
Excellent poem, I would feel a lot of pressure if someone did a vocal pledge for me, but I've made sure that can't happen, cangrats for supporting Lamarr
Wow, that's wonderful, Matthew! Lamar is a true gem :)
